The United States, UK, and Israel were among the last countries to end their support for the apartheid regime in South Africa.
The legacy of a liberated South Africa lives on as a country that defeated apartheid takes the Israeli apartheid regime to The Hague for genocide.

South Africa legal team's Adila Hassim @CIJ_ICJ: “Genocides are never declared in advance, but this court has the benefit of the past 13 weeks of evidence that shows incontrovertibly a pattern of conduct & related intention that justifies a plausible claim of genocidal acts.”

Today's ICJ hearing was devastating. Horror after horror, laid out in plain sight for all to see.
South Africa spoke for millions around the world desperate for this massacre to end — and put the UK & US government to shame for their deplorable silence, cowardice and complicity.

Earlier this year, Rainbow Railroad staff traveled to Jamaica to meet with partner organizations we work with on the ground. This video diary captures the experience of this trip, and the vital work of partners we continue to support.

(1/7) 🧵I was asked to promote the SOGI in International Law program at the University of Leiden as an alumni of the 2022 cohort. Unfortunately, I cannot, as an LGBTQI+ activist, support the program in good conscious.

(7/7) experience, I can't promote a program that fails to see that Wintemute is not a relevant expert given his views & role in promoting transphobia through his involvement with the LGB Alliance. I hope this will change in 2024 when they replace him. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
Incredible work by our friends at @EC_Equality 🌈

Rainbow Railroad strongly condemns the arrests and death sentences of two #LGBTQI+ activists in Iran, which are discriminatory and without valid legal basis. We call on Iranian authorities to immediately quash the convictions of Zahra Sedighi-Hamadani and Elham Choubdar.

It's out there! On display @chaptersindigo. Must admit it was a bit surprising to walk into the Bay/Bloor Chapters here in Toronto and see my face on the display table. My first experience of seeing the book for sale in real life, since before it was all happening in Australia.
Stressful morning watching #HRC50 live, but relieved at the result in favour of #RenewIESOGI
The Human Rights Council has voted to #RenewIESOGI with 23 votes in favour, 17 against and 7 abstentions! Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this happen!!! 🇺🇳🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️#HRC50
Sadly won't be able to make this incredible event today but highly encourage all at #ATCR2022 to attend - @RezGardi has been doing some incredible work facilitating and speaking on this topic throughout the ATCR.
If we were at #ATCR2022, we would RSVP for this @RefugeesSeat event. A refugee as the next #RefugeeHighCommissioner would highlight the agency of refugees and infuse lived experience into the top levels of #refugee policy. #RepresentationMatters
RSVP: eventbrite.ca/e/the-first-hi…
